[en] To evaluate diffusion kurtosis imaging (DKI) and magnetisation transfer imaging (MTI) compared to standard MRI for prostate cancer assessment in a re-biopsy population. Thirty-patients were imaged at 3 T including DKI (K_app and D_app) with b-values 150/450/800/1150/1500 s/mm² and MTI performed with and without MT saturation. Patients underwent transperineal biopsy based on prospectively defined MRI targets. Receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) analyses assessed the parameters and Wilcoxon-signed ranked test assessed relationships between metrics. Twenty patients had ≥ 1 core positive for cancer in a total of 26 MRI targets (Gleason 3+3 in 8, 3+4 in 12, ≥ 4+3 in 6): 13 peripheral (PZ) and 13 transition zone (TZ). The apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) and D_app were significantly lower and the K_app and MT ratio (MTR) significantly higher in tumour versus benign tissue (all p ≤ 0.005); ROC values 0.767-1.000. Normal TZ had: lower ADC and D_app and higher K_app and MTR compared to normal PZ. MTR showed a moderate correlation to K_app (r = 0.570) and D_app (r = -0.537) in normal tissue but a poor correlation in tumours. No parameter separated low-grade (Gleason 3+3) from high-grade (≥ 3+4) disease for either PZ (p = 0.414-0.825) or TZ (p = 0.148-0.825). ADC, D_app, K_app and MTR all distinguished benign tissue from tumour, but none reliably differentiated low- from high-grade disease. (orig.)
